Radio communication apparatus and method of handover from a macro cell to a closed subscribers group cell

A radio communication apparatus, comprising:

• a communication interface which, in operation, performs communication in a macrocell, which is a first type cell, and a Closed Subscribers Group (CSG) cell, which is a second type cell, wherein both cells are included in a radio communication network, and wherein the radio communication apparatus has an inbound mobility control function to move from the first type cell to the second type cell;
• a controller, which is coupled to the communication interface and which, in operation, determines a neighboring cell to be a measurement target of reception quality measurement based on a first cell list and second cell information, wherein the second cell information is different from information of the first cell list and indicates a range of cell IDs of the second type cell;
• and
• a radio receiver, which is coupled to the controller and which, in operation, repeatedly receives system information from a target base station, which is the second type cell, within a gap period used by the radio communication apparatus to suspend reception and transmission of signals with a source base station.
